That was race 103 for Slick, and he went a beauty - 5th. Gallions Reach hasn't been himself this season, and he was way back again in the Kelt.
But the winners, believe it or not, were... Kelt Stakes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Delo6epA2c  VOSNE ROMANEE 55-1 longshot. He started favourite in 8 stakes races in a row last season, including a G1 - finished in the first five in all of them but didn't win any. He ran a couple of bad races to start this season, so we all forgot about him...oops. Was it a fluke, or a break-out? Daffodil was a bit unlucky. She didn't have anywhere to go until it was too late and she could only get 4th. Don't know if she could have got past VR anyway though. Hawke's Bay Guineas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k264nTjKBKQ KEYORA Less of a longshot than VR, but still 40-1. He won a maiden on Windsor Park Plate day, then came back 2 weeks later and won the G2 Guineas! The trainer rates him highly though - had nominated him for the Caulfield Guineas in Melbourne but is going to go for the NZ 2000 Guineas instead (which he is now a 14-1 chance in, after being 100-1 last week).  Crazy.

Huge upsets all over the world today.
 Thanks for the replay. Daffodil can't win every one and it was a nice 4th. Oh God and Sir Slick. I'll just never get tired of seeing him! Thought the announcer was gonna have a heart atack when Keyora won!

I hope they do whatever's in the horse's best interest (DON'T RUN!).
Back here, there's a great card of racing at Trentham tomorrow with three stakes - the Wellesley for 2yos, the G3 Cuddle Stakes for fillies and mares and the G2 Wellington Guineas for 3yos. It's going to be a very wet track down there though. And here in Auckland there's a really really nice card at Ellerslie - there are no stakes, but there are some awesome fields. The first race of the day is a 3yo race with some nice runners (Green Cash and Marsh Harbour look like names to remember). Then Donthassleme (rated a very big chance in the 2000 Guineas - 12-1) is having his first race as a 3yo and there's a 2yo race with first-starters from all the top stables. Later in the day, excellent older horses like Panama, Striker, Black Panther, La Etoile, Glamorous Girl, The Mooseisloose and 2006 Derby winner Wahid are all running. I'm really excited about going there tomorrow.
